Afleet Zapier integrationAutomate Afleet with Zapier.
The Afleet Zapier integration gives you 6 triggers and 7 actions, and no search. All six triggers run on a timer, Afleet is not a premium app, and nearly every step asks for the same Program ID. Here is what each one does, costs and breaks.

What the Afleet Zapier integration actually does
Afleet is a platform for growing a business through the customers it already has: ambassadors, campaigns, rewards. The integration plugs it into Zapier, so an event in your Afleet program (a new reward, a new ambassador, a submission accepted or turned down) can start work in another app, and the other way round.
Three results people usually build first. A reward that pays out by itself: Successful Submission of an Ambassador starts the Zap and Distribute Reward settles it, which suits a skincare brand running a review program. A tidy roster outside Afleet: Enroll Ambassador copies every new member into the spreadsheet or CRM your sales team already reads. Campaigns created from your planning tool: an events agency that plans content elsewhere can push it into Afleet with Create UGC Campaign instead of typing it twice.
Now the limits. There is no search step on this app, so a Zap cannot look up an ambassador or a campaign that already exists in Afleet; it only works with what the trigger hands over or what you type in. There is no instant trigger either: every Afleet trigger waits for the next check. And nothing here edits an existing campaign: you can create one or delete one, not change it.

Zapier words in one minute
Seven words come back on every line of this page. Each one, in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run every time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in Afleet (or another app) that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is on, Zapier sits and waits for it.
- Action
- What the Zap does after it starts: the step that creates, sends, deletes or moves something on your behalf.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action that went through; your plan's allowance is a count of those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked on a timer. An instant one is pushed by the app the moment it happens. All six Afleet triggers poll.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap carry on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- Connection
- Your Afleet account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that talks to Afleet.
What an Afleet Zap really costs
Afleet is not a premium app, so it works on the free plan. The trigger never costs a task, and neither do the checks Zapier runs to look for new data.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
- Free plan Zap sizeTwo steps: one trigger, one action
- AfleetNot a premium app
- Trigger checksNever billed
Each action that goes through counts as one task; one that fails is not counted. A Zap with three actions uses three times what a one-action Zap uses. The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and builds two-step Zaps only: one trigger, one action. Add a filter or a second action and it becomes a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. On Free, every Afleet trigger is checked every 15 minutes; Professional brings that down to 2, Team and Enterprise to 1.
Connect Afleet to Zapier in 3 steps
- 01
Open your connections
Sign in to Zapier, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. You need an Afleet account first, plus access to any program you do not own but want the Zap to touch.
- 02
Pick Afleet
In the dialog, type Afleet, select it, then click Add connection. A new tab opens on the Afleet side, where you sign in with the account that runs your ambassador program.
- 03
Grant access
Approve the access Zapier asks for. The connection then shows up in your list, and every Afleet step of every Zap reuses it, so you only do this once per account.
Your first Zap: pay out a reward when a submission succeeds
GoalA skincare brand rewards ambassadors who post a review. When Afleet marks a submission as successful in its review program, the reward goes out without anyone clicking.
- 01
Create the Zap
In Zapier, start a new Zap and pick Afleet as the app that starts it, with
Successful Submission of an Ambassadoras the event. Choose the Afleet connection you set up earlier. - 02
Set the trigger
Fill in the Program ID of the review program, then test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items from your account, so you map the next steps on a real submission.
- 03
Add the action
Click the plus icon, pick Afleet again and choose
Distribute Reward. It asks for the Program ID of the review program and a field called Action; fill both in. - 04
Map the fields
Map what the trigger brought back into the action, using the real submission from the test. A field left empty here is the usual reason the step fails later.
- 05
Test, then publish
Run each step once and read what came back. When everything looks right, click Publish. One trigger and one action: this Zap fits the free plan.
Afleet triggers on Zapier
6 events start a Zap when something happens in Afleet. Zapier checks for them at the interval your plan allows.
Triggers When There Is a New Reward.
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new reward is created inside the Afleet portal.”
Starts the Zap when a new reward shows up in your Afleet program, so the catalogue of what ambassadors can earn is mirrored somewhere else: a sheet, a newsletter tool, a team chat. Whoever never opens the portal still knows what is on offer.
New Campaign
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new Campaign is created on afleet portal.”
Fires when someone creates a campaign in the Afleet portal. Use it to tell the people who never log into Afleet that a new campaign exists, or to open a matching card in your project tool.
Distribute Reward
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a reward is accepted or rejected”
This one reacts when a reward is accepted or rejected, which makes it the event to follow if you need a record of every decision. It is not the action of the same name, which hands the reward out.
Enroll Ambassador
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new ambassador is enrolled”
Every time a new ambassador is enrolled in a program, the Zap starts. It is the natural first step for welcoming people, adding them to a CRM, or giving a sales rep a heads-up that a customer just signed up to promote you.
Submission Rejected of an Ambassador
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a submission is rejected”
Watches for submissions that get turned down. Useful when a rejection should lead to a human follow-up, an explanation, a second chance, rather than silence that leaves the ambassador wondering what went wrong.
Successful Submission of an Ambassador
Polling triggerIn Zapier“Triggers When an ambassador makes a successful submission”
The mirror image of the previous trigger: it starts the Zap when an ambassador's submission goes through. That is the moment most programs want to act on, to reward, to thank, to share the content.
Distribute Reward, as in the first Zap above.Afleet actions on Zapier
Afleet gives you 7 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Ambassador Enrolled
ActionIn Zapier“Action to enroll the ambassadors in a program”
Enrolls a person in a program straight from another app, typically a signup form or a CRM stage change, so nobody types new ambassadors into Afleet by hand.
Delete Campaign
ActionIn Zapier“Action to delete a campaign”
Removes a campaign from Afleet when something elsewhere says it is over, for example a project closed in your planning tool. The only required field is the Program ID.
Create Custom Campaign
ActionIn Zapier“Action to create a new custom campaign on afleet portal”
Builds a new custom campaign in your Afleet program from data coming out of an earlier step: a title, a link, start and end dates, the reward points and how completion is judged.
Create UGC Campaign
ActionIn Zapier“Action to create a UGC campaign on afleet portal”
Sets up a campaign built around content your ambassadors create themselves, with a Campaign Platform field on top of the usual title, dates, points and completion style.
Delete Reward
ActionIn Zapier“Action to delete the reward”
Takes a reward out of a program, so ambassadors stop seeing a perk that no longer exists, such as a partner offer that ended.
Distribute Reward
ActionIn Zapier“Action to distribute the reward”
Settles a reward from inside a Zap, the step that closes the loop once a submission is confirmed. Only two fields are required: the Program ID and one called Action.
Create Reward
ActionIn Zapier“Reward will be automatically gets created”
Adds a reward to a program with its title, description, points and expiry date, so a new perk shows up for ambassadors without anyone opening the portal.
When an Afleet Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Afleet, so the known failure points are the general ones, plus the Program ID.
Most broken Afleet Zaps come down to four situations. None of them throws a scary error; the Zap simply does less than you expected. If you are stuck, the Zapier troubleshooting guide walks through the usual checks.
The past is not picked up
A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Ambassadors or rewards created before that stay where they are; moving them is a separate job.The Zap that feeds itself
A Zap watching New Campaign that also runs Create Custom Campaign in the same program will start itself again and again, and burn tasks fast.Bulk changes held back
When a trigger suddenly returns a huge batch, after an import or a cleanup in Afleet, Zapier's flood protection can hold it back.No duplicates, by design
Zapier remembers what a polling trigger already returned, so the same reward or ambassador does not start the Zap twice.
